Using e-mail address as the login

Using e-mail address as the login.

I register users and put their E-mail address in the ‘LastName’ field and also the ‘UserName’ field.

I hacked the ($ServerAccess) view to enable the users to login with their e-mail address. Works fine but users who are in groups in a secondary address book, it doesn’t pick up their userroles. Which is essential to restrict access to sections of the site.

Looks like a massive bug in this version. Who logs into a site using anything other than an e-mail address these days? This should be basic functionality.

Anyone got a solution?

Hi,

i use my mail adress as login without any hack!!!

Why did you made such changes in your directory? Nobody knows what effects you will get, when you change important views like $ServerAccess!

I use normal Person documents with First- and Lastname and normal smtp-Mailadress in Internet Adress Field.

In my server document i use “more name variations”.

So i’m able to login with my mail adress, can use everything with normal behavior.

Second Directory is trusted in Directory Assistance and works ok too.

Just wondering
